Got myself a Promaster 3500

Get yourself a foot operated switch for your hose reel. Nice to have two hands at times. I can stand back while winding and towel off the hose as it goes on.

Electric reel for APO arrived today. It's a little bigger than I thought it would be. I'll make it work. Mounting it on the ceiling above the 870 going out the side door.

Those Cox reels are nuclear approved, you are gonna enjoy them!

Nice!

Although personally I hate my vacuum reel over the solution. It just pisses me off when the vac hose screws with the solution hose.

I just lock it in place.

The curved cuts and measurements on the wheel-wells are a little hard for me. This template makes things much easier for dummy me.

Hoping to make some good progress today.

Moving along. Just getting things cut and fitted. Got one anchor track bolted to the van and will put another one higher. Next weekend I'll take it all apart and sand, stain, and urethane.

Tonight I finally got around to adding some better lighting in my van. The stock lights the came with the Promaster suck and they turn off after a few minutes and can’t be turned back on unless you hit the lock button on the key fob. So I ordered 8 recessed RV lights off Amazon

My plan is to eventually mount them into the ceiling once I get the tongue and groove wood mounted, but I just can’t wait any longer. The nice thing about the Promaster is there are plenty of places to easily mount these lights and running the wires was a breeze.

I just have a few more little things to do and install a switch, then I can make a glorious video of the lumens at work.

No insulation?

No insulation?

I am not going there AGAIN.

But I live in California. At night of it gets close to 32 I put out a heater. But I don’t get nutty temps like you guys.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

It will get close to 32 here tomorrow. I hope.

A roll of mylar bubble insulation would be easy to install, then you wouldn't need a towel to keep your Turbo from hitting the roof.

Keeps it cooler in summer as well.

 

[Nomad74]

The final wiring and switch install will be done this morning. I bought a protected switch. I don’t need something falling over on it draining my battery. If it can happen, it will happen.

Was behind one of your vans today. No way would they be practical up here they are TOO LOW to get around in the snow. And if was built by FIAT no way.

 

[Nomad74]

The glorious switch is installed and working.

Lights are awesome!

I love my Promaster so much. Especially how low to the ground it is. Makes it easy to get equipment in and out. Front wheel drive is perfect for ice and snow.

Front wheel drive is also good for Soccer moms driving their kids around for soccer and gymnastics practice in their minivans.
